what's in flower (and shouldnt be!)
« on: November 15, 2014, 18:46 »
 I had a wander around my garden today and found that my black eyed susan (the tender climbing one) and sweet peas are still happily flowering. The Japanese quince is either early or late, too. Here's hoping for a short winter this year!

Begonias, forget-me-nots, self-seeded lobelia.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Our cup and saucer plant is flowering better now than it did in the summer :)

It is better to have nothing to do than to be doing nothing.

Even though we had snow on the ground for a week over here, we still have lots of flowers about. A few roses, echinacea, french marigolds, self seeded cosmos, petunias, chrysanths, verbascum, pelargonium, penstemon and weeds like dandelion and some tiny tall daisies that are common here. We did have dahlias which also survived the snow as temperatures were above freezing, but although I would have left them to blacken, OH has dug them up.

A favourite azalea!

Two huge blooms, and way out of their tree...

My calendula are still doing well, as are the fuchsia and nasturtium.

3 rose buds opened today (quickly cut for the vase) and still have lobelia in the tubs  :) - I did wonder if this flowering is on plants grown from seeds dropped from the first flowers IYSWIM  :wacko:

My 'Graham Thomas' rose is flowering as well now as it did during the summer, despite facing east and having to climb up over next door's ex WW2 Anderson shelter to find enough light to do so - it's done that for several years now from June through to the following spring with just a short rest in late summer, although eventually some proper winter weather might force it (him?) to take an extra break!  :unsure:  ;)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

When I was out for a walk today the brambles were in blossom.

Just looking in the garden this morning, calendula, nasturtium, fuschia and the grass is growing like mad.

Recently, I have seen Gazanias, Pelargoniums, perennial geraniums and primroses.
